quote:I also like how you selectively left out most of the stats where Brees is trailing. Brees has an advantage in volume, but not in inefficiency so far. He is still fricking awesome, but not the MVP. His numbers are still very good, but not the best.

the point was this cat saying his stats "stink" compared to Brady, Manning, and Rodgers... which is a clown statement, bro.

Drew Brees had an awful start to the season along with the entire team. However the Saints have won 5 out of the last 6 games. In those games, Brees has a passer rating of 122, a completion percentage of 70 and YPA of 8.95. Clearly these are MVP worthy numbers. See this thread.

I believe if the Saints can keep up their new found balance on offense (and with some help from the defense), Brees' numbers will be much more closer to Brady and Manning at the end of the year.

No he's not the MVP. Manning right now, but Bree's isn't close? That's the dumbest thing ever said on a message board. He leads in TDs, his ypa isn't far off, he's second in yards out of those QBs. I think his QBR has shot up like 10 points in only 3 or 4 weeks. These stats or rankings could change drastically in only a week and drew could be leading in almost all categories]. Oh and statistically he's the best QB in the NFL since 2006. He missed all of the OTAs, he is without the best play caller in the league and had an interim to the interim coaching the team. Just wait for this one to play out

If the saints win out or even win 10 games, Brees is almost a lock and his stats not being superior to manning should matter

09 clearly set a precedent that a QB can win the MVP despite not having the best numbers, which won't matter because drew's numbers have been surging after a lousy 3 week start
